In September 2006, a guy I knew only from IRC from years back looked me up, and offered me a job. $60,000 a year at a startup in Atlanta, GA. I was unemployed, not uncommon for me, and this was nearly twice as much as I've ever made. That and some personal things led me to accept and make the move.

Or should I say Wii?

This weekend I bought a Wii. It's not for me, it's for my nephews.

Plus work and more moving stuff.

I've been here for a while, I was part of the first wave of refugees from here. I've been lurking here for years.

I make a small lab in a big telecomm company work. This allows us to produce many a product. I do everything, Linux & Solaris System Administration, Network Administration, purchasing, installation of products under development, plus anything people don't want to go to the IT department for. Two years ago there were 4 people doing these jobs, now, it's just me. After two years of never having any free time and always having an "emergency" to fix, I'm quiting. And it feels soooo gooooooooooood.

The problem with not writing a diary for a while is that you keep putting off writing a diary because there's just too much stuff to relate and it's a major effort.

Who am I kidding? Like there's really been that much happen since last April...
